Fornasetti: Designer of Dreams

Piero Fornasetti established an enduring reputation as a designer with a style that was all his own – a style based on illusionism, architectural perspectives and a host of personal leitmotifs, such as the sun, playing cards and fishes, from which he spun seemingly endless variations. 'He makes objects speak' said Gio Ponti, his friend and longtime collaborator. Designers and collectors today celebrate his use of allusion, unsettling images and striking juxtaposition to create uiue, whimsical objects. Fornasetti's masterpieces shock, delight and inspire.
